The story
Aromi, a seafood restaurant at Namesti Míru 1234/6 in Prague, earned 13.5 points from Gault&Millau in 2026. The guide counts it among the city's early fine dining rooms, and its Italian-leaning kitchen still anchors that reputation.
The pasta is made in house. Tortellini are filled with Mazzancolle prawns and served in a bisque emulsion with fermented cucumber. Paccheri come with tomato and burrata cream, and strozzapreti with rabbit ragù arrive under a fonduta of Beltrami fossa cheese. The Gault&Millau reviewer singled out ravioli al plin and grilled calamari with crisp breadcrumbs as examples of the kitchen's restraint.
The raw bar lists market oysters with Sicilian lemon and mignonette, scallops, Sicilian red prawns and bluefin tuna. Seafood served raw, apart from the oysters, is chilled to –20°C for at least 24 hours before service. Larger plates include grilled octopus with red pepper sauce and wild salmon with potato espuma. Sea bass, sea bream, turbot and Dover sole are also served whole for two, and lobster is priced by the kilo.

History
The Aromi restaurant is rightly considered one of the legends of Prague’s gastronomic scene. It was one of the first to bring the concept of fine dining to Prague. A visit to Aromi confirms that experience and professionalism are reflected in every detail here. From the welcome to the final farewell, everything seems perfectly coordinated and executed with absolute confidence. The staff are natural and professional, but could occasionally be more present in the space. The kitchen produces dishes that embody the best of Italian cuisine – simplicity, purity, and harmony of flavors. Homemade pasta, precisely mastered techniques, and perfectly balanced seasoning prove that the Chef here knows exactly what he is doing. The dishes seem light, yet they have a depth that makes them an experience. For example, the excellent grilled calamari with crispy breadcrumbs or ravioli al plin, simple and perfect. Another strong point is the wine list, which focuses primarily on Italian wines. The selection includes some truly great wines, so both connoisseurs and casual wine lovers will find something to their liking. The restaurant also offers a business lunch menu and regular Sunday seafood lunches, which are well worth trying.
